I like to start my morning out as well as possible in order to have a successful day. So, I start with Lemon water. It always has lemon but sometimes I add in watermelon or strawberry. I have this awesome infusion cup that I use and I love it! I make sure that I have the entire bottle of lemon water before eating breakfast!

Here’s a quick run down of why I always have lemon in my morning water:

When you eat your blood sugar levels can rapidly increase then drop very rapidly. This results in sugar cravings. There’s a lot of evidence that suggests adding lemon to your water helps to keep blood sugar levels from increasing too rapidly after a meal. It also helps to slow down the rate at which your food is digested so you’ll stay full longer too.

Lemon water provides your body with hydrating electrolytes in the form of potassium, calcium and magnesium.

The acid in lemon interacts with various enzymes in your body and stimulates the secretion of gastric juice. This helps your body with digestion.

Your liver produces more enzymes with the help of lemon water than any other substance.

Lemon water also aids your liver in helping it release toxins.

Lemon water can help you better regulate your bowel movements.

Lemons have pectin fiber, which aids in the suppression of hunger cravings.

So, add some lemon to your water and drink it even before breakfast! I find it very helpful!
